In addition, it shows that Cruz would not do as well against Clinton as Trump. This is surprising since previous polls showed just the opposite.

Reagan was down 25 points to Carter at this juncture in 1980. Completely asinine that MSM continues this blather hourly. Almost like the case where Cruz complains that Trump can't get past 35% threshold meaning that 65% of repubs don't like him, but fails to mention that following the same metric 80% of repubs don't like him.

What the GOP needs to consider is who is going to support their final candidate. If they go outside and bring in someone, they will disenfranchise millions and millions of voter already sick and tired of the establishment and will subsequently get destroyed in the general election.

If they continue to play these games whereby they apply amoral, made up on the fly, *rules* to erode delegates from one candidate to another, they risk the same disenfranchisement.

The reality is that it may already be too late. I, along with Laura Ingram and many others, believe this is precisely what they want. When the dust settles, the GOPe would rather have Hillary than either Cruz or Trump.

If they give it to Cruz, the Trump and most of the Kasich people will stay home. If they give it to Trump, the Cruz people will stay home, but to a lesser extent, and most Kasich people will crossover. If they give it to someone who only won 1 state in the entire primary, the majority of voter involved in the primary will stay home.

My guess is that they will continue the shenanigans to insure a contested convention, get through the first ballot, and then eventually wind up giving the nod to Kasich.



And then blame Trump and Cruz for the reason we get Hillary in November.
